Use of museum and artifact based fieldtrips in the teaching of ancient singaporeLloyd Yeo
This chapter seeks to locate the efforts of a group of history teachers in the context of collaboration with academic and professional bodies as well as a Networked Learning Community who systematically sought to incorporate museum-based learning and embed such teaching resources in the teaching of ancient Singapore history. Using Activity
Theory (AT) as a learning theory to explore these networks of collaboration, the learning networks that were established showed that such approaches could lead to a more effective co-creation of knowledge outcome for practitioner inquiry and have
some positive outcomes for student learning.
WW2 was a terrible time and some were able to adjust and get on better than others. This interview excerpt and set of links to an oral interview provides other perspectives of World War 2 worth exploring.

Poems and biography of Mamoru Shinozaki, a diplomat and administrator during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore/Syonan-To from 1942 to 1945. Useful background and material for students and teachers who are studying World War 2 in Singapore from the perspective of the Japanese. His account is quite atypical of other Japanese accounts.
Poetry and background to Maurice Crowther, a World War 2 veteran who fought in Malaya and Singapore between 1941 to 1945. He was interned in Changi and subsequently worked as a convict labourer in Korea and Japan. Useful for students who are studying World War 2 in Asia from the perspective of European soldiers caught up in the war.
Background and information to World War 2 poems by Mary Thomas. For use by teachers and students in understanding war from the perspective of women civilians interned at Changi Prison in Singapore between 1942 to 1945.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

6. Logistics
• Get the groupings
sorted out weeks
ahead
• Meet the vendors to
communicate what
exactly the pre and
post activity. Also
learning points
• Food, water and
physical ability
We get to ‘pontang’ School
The food is not nice. Should find a
better place to eat. We sat on the floor
to eat.
When we did the Singapore River, we
were more relaxed because it was the
first activity. Then, when we went to
Fort Canning, we were like more tired
and quite restless. Should be a two half
day trip.
Don’t put it so close to the camp
because we already very tired and then
have to go to the camp and then even
more tired. Some of my friends fell sick
the next day.
7. Pre-Activity
• Have an enduring
understanding that is specific
and concrete
• Assign roles (E.g. Researcher of
specific places, map leader,
worksheet leader, photo taker
• Create an real and virtual
spaces for students to discuss,
collaborate, report and work
• Give them time to collaborate
Have you thought about how to do the
project? How to collaborate? <silence>;
<muttering>
If we just do the phone, I think we won’t
remember the whole thing. If we like made
the report, we would use our own words and
rephrase it, I think we would remember the
whole trip better.
One person did the phone and the other one
did the worksheet. Some of us also like half
phone and half worksheet. Share the load
together.
I think they should create an online portal to
view our own ‘found’ resources. Like taking
photographs and posting on our portal. Then
we can check it on the computer to see what
we have posted and refer to them.
8. Activity: Situated Learning Brown, Colins, and Duguid 1989
All learning takes place within a specific context and the quality of the
learning is a result of interactions among the places, people, objects,
processes, and culture within and relative to the given context
Situated learning as it normally occurs is embedded within activity,
context and culture. It is also usually unintentional learning rather
than deliberate.
Social interaction and collaboration are essential components of
situated learning.
Situated learning through immersive interfaces is important in part
because of the issue of transfer (Dede, 2008,2009). This is the
application of knowledge learnt in one situation to another situation
and is demonstrated if instruction on a learning task leads to improved
performance on a transfer task, ideally a skilled performance in a real-
world setting (Meestre, 2002)
9. Activity
• Give them time to explore,
appreciate the place and to ask
questions about the site.
• Visit really mysterious and
interesting places.
• It’s not just about finishing the
activity. It’s also about curiosity
and things you learn incidentally
through observation and
questions.
We were given time to look around the place.
It’s like on the spot we are doing the activity,
so we will stand at one place, do the activity
finish. Then while we are walking to the next
station, we can enjoy the surroundings.
13. Activity
• Give them time to explore,
appreciate the place and to ask
questions about the site.
• Visit really mysterious and
interesting places.
• Take lots of photos individually
for memory and for later
analysis
• Task novelty is important. Focus
on learning value and how this
pieces into their later of their
individual learning
Do some challenges on the spot that will
make it more fun. Like they can make some
treasure hunt like hide some treasure in the
Fort Canning. Find the code and make up
your own activity.
Let us go around Fort Canning instead of on
the trail. Travel on our own in different
groups instead of following a trail or guide.
Maybe they can give us a map and then let us
find our own way. So, we can learn more
things about that place.
Like, okay, you have two hours. Meet back
here but you must do this and that, this and
that. If there’s anything, call the guide or
teacher or anything in case of anything
happening.
14. Take lots of photos individually for
memory and for later analysis as group or
individuals
Have an activity that wraps it up or
consolidates the learning (E.g. Start or end
with the museum visit)
The report helps us summarize everything that we
learn. The whole learning journey.
I say we need the report because it evaluates what
students have learnt from the trip.
Ya. The museum. They like don’t let us go in. 5 minutes
in there only. But no chance to explore. We just gave
back the phone, that’s all. We go there, do the survey
and then just go already. We would have liked to spend
more time at the museum
I prefer the one with the
handphone because you actually
gain more knowledge.
The guide keeps talking, you
forget some stuff. If the guide
keeps talking to us.
It’s very boring to hear him talk.
Then some of us, we don’t even
bother to hear.
Because our generation, the kids
are used to using mobile devices.
Then you can process more
information through it. Because
the guide.
Whatever he says, we might forget
it. We can go back to the phone
and then like refer to the
information
15. Expect mistakes. Historical thinking is an un-
natural cognitive activity but they’ll get
there
Continuity
.
16.
17.
18. Deeper historical thinking through talk
and collaboration
Change and Continuity through physical buildings. Concept of
Modernization. The old is not so useful anymore: From his bungalow on
top of Fort Canning, Raffles could see some of the buildings from his house itself. It
was supposed to be that purpose. But then if you see now, all the buildings are now
blocking the sea port. So, the light house becomes useless. But just a showcase. So,
Singapore has turned into a modern city.
The legacy of British and western forms of governance in Sg history: I
heard that it was British colonial building that causes government. Governance of
the British. British. Everything about British. Sir Stamford Raffles, the Fullerton
Hotel, the cannons then dunno what everything British. Then the Cavenagh Bridge is
also British name. Anderson Bridge is also a British name. That’s something I realized
after the field trip. Something I never realized. Everything is named after the British.
I never thought about this.
19. The Starting Point: 14th century
Singapore at Empress Place
A: Asian Civilization Museum Site.
It was the start point.
B: They put quiz on the phone
two times. Fort Canning and
Singapore River. The place was
renamed many times lah. I can’t
remember the names but , so, I
can infer the building was used
for many purposes from the past
till British times.

Situated learning theory posits that all learning takes place within a specific context and the quality of the learning is a result of interactions among the places, people, objects, processes, and culture within and relative to the given context (Brown, Colins, and Duguid 1989). Withint these contexts, learning is co-constructed, particpatory processes in which all learners are “transformed through their actions and relations in the world”. (Driscoll, 2000, p.157). Situated learning builds upon and extends other learning theories such as social learning theory and social development theory, which posit that the level of learning is dependent on the quality of social interaction within the learning context (Bandura, 1977; Vygotsky 1978)
Knowing and learning need to be understood as situated in the communities and trajectories of apprenticeships.
Situated learning as it normally occurs is embedded within activity, context and culture. It is als usually unintentional learning rather than deliberate. Social interaction and collaboration are essential components of situated learning. Learners become involved in a community of practice which embodies certain beliefs and behaviors to be acquired. As the beginner or novice moves from the periphery of a community to its center, he or she becomes more active and engaged within the culture and eventually assumes the role of an expert.
Situated learning through immersive interfaces is important in part because of the issue of transfer (Dede, 2008,2009). Transfer is defined as the application of knowledge learnt in one situation to another situation and is demonstrated if instruction on a learning task leads to improved performance on a transfer task, ideally a skilled performance in a real-world setting (Meestre, 2002)

Student-Instructor interaction can’t be replaced with machines. The HP is the aid.
HP aids in two areas: Responsiveness because it gives direct feedback and info to students and hence the student interest. Also feedback on the learning performance. Something that addresses their concern and affects their likeability
